CU head coach Linda Lappe and freshman guard Kyleesha Weston talk about the Pc-12 Tournament, the season to this point and more in the latest edition of "This Week in Colorado Basketball." Watch it at the link.

CU head coach Linda Lappe talks about two tough road losses to Cal and Stanford and looks ahead to the road games against UCLA and USC this weekend. Freshman forward Jamee Swan also joins us to talk about her first year with the Buffs.

Head coach John Fox said this week he has not studied the playoff field.

“Nope, because then I wouldn’t be keeping my focus. I think what’s really important is that win this week against Kansas City. All our focus will be on that. Whatever that brings, we’ll react to. Right now, that’s where all the focus is.”

But Fox did tell 850 KOA that he has thought about how he might handle things should the Broncos secure a bye in the first round of the playoffs.

The Broncos don’t talk about it much. They don’t have to. In order to get a first round bye in the postseason, the Broncos need to keep winning. Therein lies the narrative.

“We’re just trying to take them one at a time. I know it’s cliché, but (this is) obviously a big game on the road,” Head Coach John Fox said. (They’re) a team that played in the championship game of our conference a year ago, a well-coached, talented team that plays really well at home. Their home record is pretty darn high. They’re 5-1 at their place this year. We want all our focus on the Baltimore Ravens.”
